CBR 1000RR TOTAL engine REBUILD costs!! | 2008 CBR1000RR Street Fighter Build - Day 9

[@chaseontwowheels]

Seriously guys, I can't thank Revzilla enough for helping out with this build and sponsoring this season. If you wanna support the show go here: bit.ly/WBRGpatreon and if you need some OEM parts get them from Revzilla here: bit.ly/orderOEM .

[@tonyd2364]

Yes Brian i would rebuild it and not have guessing job but I would get things a little at a time

[@jonathanfletcher8184]

If they sponsored the build why did you pretend the whole video that you were spending a bunch of your own money. I get you want a cool video but remember. We like real builds. If we wanted west coast customs bullshit we would watch those bums

[@MT09_BDW]

@@jonathanfletcher8184 I'm not gonna say that your opinion sucks or anything. Because it is your right to have one. But in my opinion you cant compare WBR to West coast. Chase and his team has given us more content and knowledge this season (and the others) than West coast has given us all there episodes combined. It maybe not for you. If so, you are not forced to watch this. Chase keep going like you are. Love the long episodes with in depth explanations and content! ❤

[@HolyShitAccess]

i'd spend the 2k on another engine

[@dancarlos1216]

Dude, your thumbnails are so cringe. It’s like middle school drama, save it for the teen mom episodes.

[@mattfireblade9136]

I’ve done a rebuild on a 2003 Yamaha R1. Full gearbox revision, oil pump (because of all the shredded metal from the old gearbox) and so on a few years back. Also cost me over half the amount of money that the bike cost me. But, it was an awesome experience to see, learn and work so much on the inside of the engine.. I would do it all over again, if only for that magical moment when everything is back together, you turn that key and press the button. It was running so magically smooth, good memories :)

[@sawyer4981]

The more WBR I watch the more respect I have for blue collar work. Like shit, I have a bio degree and there really is no difference in complexity between an anatomy & physiology text book and these manuals. Apply the knowledge and you're basically a surgeon. Just working on steel instead of flesh bags.

[@evasesh6585]

This is one reason why I love having a friendly relationship with my local motorcycle salvage yard. If I get an engine from them they guarantee it, if its blown or there are any issues with it they make it right.

[@cliff8675]

Good stuff to look for (local source with a guarantee)

[@thundernile3717]

Revzilla is the best no doubt about it

[@jdpete200]

Outro Crew: I would look pretty hard at a used engine and see if the seller has any guarantees, there are some that will cover it. And at 4-5 grand for an engine rebuild, might be time for a new bike

[@JohnnyQPublic001]

Definitely time for a new bike. Or a used engine. Rebuilding them is just too @#$% expensive.

[@mikeharach4782]

I just got done spending $3500 for parts and $900 for labor rebuilding my 2014 cbr1000rr 😱OUCH! Luckily I got the bike at a great deal in the first place. It's still worth what i have into it!😁😁😁😁

[@jonwelc7383]

OC: Roll the dice on a $2,000 used engine. Even if you have to buy 2 of them your still keeping $1,000 in your pocket not including labor or time needed to reassemble the whole thing. You guys are great for putting the time and money in documenting this process so the average person can have an understanding what it actually takes to rebuild a modern engine.

[@btherealbb]

I’m so glad to see this channel back. Thank you chase for all that you do!!!

[@breakwood8531]

Bike bandit has the same oem system as revzilla, i think they been doing it for a long time to. Also Haynes manual is hands down the best for rebuilds. They break down every single part and have pictures for everything. Sadly they stop making them for the new models but they do have the 2008 cbr one for 30$. Most used engines from a reputable place will do a compression test and test the engine first before selling it, some even come with warranty. I bought one last year from steelescycle1 and I haven’t had any issues so far. Good luck fellas.

[@mickeymang6]

Plus Bike bandit is a little bit cheaper

[@renripari5514]

THATS A LOT $ , MY BRAIN IS GOING KIND OF NUMB RIGHT NOW ! IM IN AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 AND I NEED TO DO A REBUILD , LONG STORY . GREAT SHOW GUYS . KIND REGARDS

[@newrider4138]

This helped out a lot finding about the oem section and how to use it, smacked a shredded tire on the freeway last week and shattered my coolant reservoir cover on my xsr900, easy way to find the part and order, thank god only $10, thanks revzilla and chase n crew

[@MT09_BDW]

I build aircraft engines for a living. So if I had no choice I would do it myself with the 5000 dollar option. But since I don't have the time or space I would get a different bike. My SV650 engine blew up (crank case Bearing failure) after that decided to buy a new MT-09. Love to see you going with the option I did not have myself! Goodluck!

[@Breaks4Life]

VERY COOL

[@mickeymang6]

Thats cool. I build Turbine engines for helicopters. Kind of surprised that they wouldn't order replacement timing chain guides and an oil cooler. Hope they do. BTW working on a 1999 SV650 Track bike build.

[@JoshHillDrag2Blaze]

Outro Crew: I would buy a cheap engine with good block and head and replace what is needed.

[@wiseives]

OC, personally I’m buying a new engine or scrapping it and getting something new. For y’all, glad you’re doing the full rebuild...

[@fredmaldonado9204]

This is the most detailed engine build. I really enjoyed this video. Thank You master mechanic Brian for being so patient and thorough. This shows the world what is the process of a proper rebuild. I am very mechanically inclined. So this is extremely fascinating to me. Thank You very an excellent video.

[@santiagotruillo8673]

This is nuts! I would just buy a bike thats running for all you're in on this bike already. However, I'm not here for content about buying a new bike. Apreciate you guys so much n can't wait to get my new bike from you guys

[@charliebailey879]

Listening to Brian order parts is like listening to the BigSmoke meme. Someone get the dude a black hat and green shirt.

[@candemoto8435]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Breaks4Life]

YOU GUYS ARE GREAT !!! THANQ GUYS 🇺🇲🐲

[@nkginhd6235]

OC- personally I'd scrap that bike and buy a different one.. and that's with technical knowledge. For you chase, the knowledge you'll gain from rebuilding the engine is worth the money. Your viewers would also learn along the way. By the way I don't think the 4910 was with tax or shipping.. and don't forget you still need the bearings!

[@motography5871]

just bought a bike 2008 zx6r $5k ( all my money saved ) in may road it for 2 months went on vacations all of july, came back august road it 2 times and the engine started knocking.

[@vicentechamberlain579]

Ha ha

[@AlucardFeeds]

Hey Brian, have you done an episode to see if a frame is true? I know it might be too much for an episode, but i would like to know as this process, as buying a beater and repairing it for much less than a new pick sounds appealing to me now watching this CBRK project. Thanks mates for quality content. I just found you guys again, I was watching Chase back in the dirt bike days and totally forgot about him as youtube stopped recommending him.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

YAAAAS chase, music volume problem fixed. apreciate it

[@MrWood66]

Radical Revzilla commercial

[@onlyfoolriding8223]

Good thing you're rollin' in the youtube monies, brah.

[@xr6lane]

I dumped $4k AUD on mine earlier this year, billet 3rd gear set, new main shaft, HC piston kit, headbolts, etc. Hands down I’d rebuild an engine over chancing it on a junker. It was a welcome change from building car engines that’s for sure 😎

[@justgiz]

OC: if i could build something, hell yeah i wouldn't risk it. But still buying a used engine is still risky. If i could afford it, buy the parts needed, and pay for assembly by someone like Brian. That's how i did it for my PC. I could build it myself, but its not worth the risk of breaking something. So I spent a little bit more to have a company build it for me, after I picked out the parts.

[@btherealbb]

Let us rejoice together!!! C2W fam!!!!

[@alexduey7868]

Idk man your a top tier rebuild channel I'd rebuild that motor and use it as a development series as part of your patreon with brian. Why not put some after market parts in that motor you really have a chance to make it special!

[@johndaltrocanto]

Rebuilding it is way too much fun, and opening up hundreds of brand new oem perfectly machined parts is a P-E-A-C-H

[@shrk352]

OC: I'd be looking for used parts for sure, Possibly a new engine, but then I would tear that one down and use the best parts from both. My Trans went in my m109r and took my case with it. Was able to find a used complete trans and engine case way cheaper then new. Sent the trans out to get backcut and inspected and rebuilt the thing myself. Still cost a couple grand but it was much cheaper then new parts.

[@ruanfourie4480]

Hi i just want to ask about the clutch see you did not order ?

[@andwiseman]

Don't forget to assign some budget to beer for Brian because that guy is for sure going to deserve it by the end of this build.

[@kazager11]

Chase you should get a TOTAL ANTHONY MAKEOVER for the rest of the season, hair/beard/purple shirt, channel your "inner Anthony"!

[@Mjv2175]

I wasn't too far off. I thought $4200-$4500. Still insane.

[@juansantos5678]

At this point I would just roll the dice on a rebuild kit from online yeah it might not last as long as the oem parts will but atleast you are looking at 500-700 dollars in parts instead of almost 5k

[@adambainbridge1047]

Great video guys! Kinda frustrating revzilla only have four makes available for OEM parts...but fantastic idea

[@army96261]

Hey what suggestions would you have for removing a stuck head? I'm trying to rebuild a 1982 cb650sc and I can't get the heads off. I've tried spraying penetrating oil around the gasket, prying it but bent one of the fins a little so stopped, used ratchet straps attached to the handlebar to try and pull it up and I've beat it with a mallet. It hasn't budged. If you have any suggestions please let me know thanks. Love the videos. Eagerly waiting for the 2008 cbr600rr update.

[@throttlegunner8929]

OC - I'd pay the 5 grand so I knew myself it was right and not second guess the used engine. I buy the factory paper service manual for every bike I've owned. Then keep them when I get rid of the bike. Can come in handy working on other bikes.

[@monkmoto1887]

With how much revzilla has been doing to be both an ambassador for motorcycling (as you have as well) plus all theyve been doing to help other youtube channels despite having their own, and when you think they made the deal with cycle gear so our tire changes can be cheap even if we don't buy from cycle gear.. I really need to buy from zilla mas

[@EliteGamer-240]

OC. Deffo spend the 5 grand and build it. I had this with my first car and paid for another engine instead of rebuilt engine only for it not to work 😂. Great vid guys

[@2wheelz420]

Awesome episode keep up the knowledge filled content!!!!

[@freddysaenzdastylist]

Rebuilding an CBR1000RR engine. My question is. Can I reuse the engine gasket with yamabond, theebond,. Or any gasket maker, or just purchase new gaskets? Thank you

[@nickash4325]

Little late but my cbrs rod bearing is going out and is making a horrible sound, do I need a whole new engine or just a new rod bearing

[@Flash_Flood]

Dude please fly out Anthony from Revzilla for a cameo. "HEY-this-is-anthony-from-revzilla-and-youre-watching-DECIDEandRi..err chase's cbr1000 street fighter build"

[@evansolomon169]

That would be hilarious.

[@richardstoffel6585]

If i need a motor for one of my bikes, i just do a full rebuild. Even if i have to let it sit for a year to gather up all the funds. I would be more happy in the long run. My last cbr1000rr i put 55,000 miles on it from new before i got rid of it to buy my first ZX14. Loved that bike so much i now have a ZX14R second gen. now days i have 4 motorcycles, where when i had my first cbr that was my only motorcycle. So mileage don’t go up as much on them, i usually use my Vulcan 1700 nomad for daily use, those are easy to rebuild, right now she has 30,000 on it, i want to get it over 100k before i rebuild it.

[@WickedProxy]

OC This is where finding a bike junkyard that at least offers a 30 day warranty is killer. A $2,300 motor plus $100 for the warranty option might be a better deal? There are a few car junkyards around here that do this. I don't know if any of them carry bikes or not.

[@eddverdillo2589]

OC: Im going to go with the 5 gran just because an expert rebuilt the engine with fresh parts.

[@nicrenzi7238]

Lol you guys missed the clutch plates still insane cost, and I’m bought to rebuild my 2019 so I may be engine shopping soon😢

[@EdPaoletta]

Who is doing the head/cam work for you guys?

[@Florian24]

At that price you better do the plasti gauge just to make sure

[@chadtague6429]

I had an 08 just like this one. Crank whine pretty much out the box. Replaced by Honda. Crank whine again. I rode it like that for about 20k miles before selling for cheap. Bet a Honda tech had that motor apart 3-4 times.

[@Nvenus27]

Exactly like I said, the cost to buy a 07 CBR600RR in excellent condition.

[@WickedProxy]

Time for Chase to get a Revzilla tattoo.

[@yeetsalittle]

I'm a car technician so i have a good understanding of mechanical systems, so learning a motorcycle engine wont be difficult. I would rather spend the extra money to build it right, rather than gamble on a used engine. I build everything with the intention of it lasting as long as possible

[@JamesBrown-vt9kr]

I'd like to see the plasti guage done because you don't have a video like that anywhere else where you can actually see it being done step by step.

[@hrsjohnny]

Can you please guys answer one question i can't find answer from anyone. Since you have dismantled oil pump and an expert engine builder you might know. On most modern engines overflow valve directs excess oil to the input of the oil pump instead of pouring it into the sump. My shop mechanic was explaining that it is a wrong design and foamy oil coming from the overflow valve should be going into the sump instead. Is that the case with cbr1000rr oil pump?

[@GoodBoy-qf5ui]

Is the 2016 cbr1000rr fireblade the same engine as 2008?

[@656THOR]

OC. I would definitely take a used motor. That 5k is a lot.

[@ssshar5070]

I was at 6K that was complete engine build. So lets also have a pinned commnet with complete cost with the head assembly completed. OC - If I know the mechanic I would buy it. But to be honest it depends on time, ideally would love to have it rebuilt and also get few touches of small updates done

[@martijnkoedijk]

But you get free shipping

[@wilgarcia1]

Damn it, I just searched for parts on Revzilla. They didn't come up. Please ask them to add OEM parts to the main search function on the website. I ordered them from some OEM shop that doesn't even have a way for me to check the status of my order on the website.

[@jordanives8731]

Outro Crew: Id personally take the bet of saving 2 grand to get a perfect engine, vs potentially having to buy a second engine and ending up another grand down just cause i wanted to be cheap. alternatively i would probably not buy a bike with a blown enigne, and if an engine died on me to this level i would probably just get a different bike and sell it to someone who CAN fix it like you guys do

[@zackarybrown6752]

OC- if I had the skill and the funds I think I would rather have the peace of mind knowing the engine has been assembled correctly and is in perfect working order.

[@kylehobbs4806]

What about a new timing chain?

[@dimos5422]

so i did make the call to buy a used engine for my duke 125 that had its cranckshaft cut literally in half. i found a basically new engine from a duke 200 for around 800 euros including the neccesarry parts like ecu etc , all went well untill about 5.000 miles down the road when the engine had its left cranckshaft roller bearing destroyed ( a small area of the inside ring of the bearing delaminated which lead to a catastrophic bearing failure , after about 4 months i found the courage to open the engine apart and fixed it for about 100 euros now the engine runs literally like new. i love it but i am going to sell it because i need a bigger bike.

[@Andy30091993]

Outro Crew: Bought a second engine used it exploded on me again so i would go with a rebuild it costs more but you know what you get

[@gripsanity]

Disagree

[@arghyl]

It hurts to see the total but it'll be worth it after hearing the first rev when it's put together.

[@friendlyrando4092]

OC: As long as the parts where still available and I had the money I would go through with a rebuild. Otherwise it would be a replace but I would make sure there was some sort of warrantee.

[@bigboi9611]

How many used engine's can you get for that?

[@ademarco85]

I would be doing exactly what you are yes it’s more but you have a fresh engine at that point no questions

[@Marty41P]

I too would go with the 5 grand rebuild for the simple fact of knowing the rotating assembly is new as apposed to a junkyard engine and not knowing the history of it.

[@THC11]

Why was the cct gasket $322.24???? first thing in your basket @ 09:29

[@saltyprocrastinator]

Where is this Emmanuel you keep speaking of?

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Yeah to be fair I should have joined the patreon ages ago I watch all of these videos. The deed is now done :) That's a loooooooooooooooot, would it be worth it to buy a new engine entirely if it was available for a standard human? Obviously that be no good for you guys :) I must see do Revzilla ship to Ireland, import taxes always stop me using them really. I hope they don't fire you :D OC: I honestly think I'd guess, I'm fairly confidant I *could* rebuild one but it'd almost be worth a shot.....but say it was my Supermagna, that bikes means so much to me I'd probably rebuild it. Irrespective of price.

[@jonhewitt3]

Was expecting it to be more! Did a rebuild on a car engine instead of buying a reconditioned one

[@tomintoxicated]

OC That one bucket in the cyl head was junk. Unless the place that'll be doing the head work machines the bucket surfaces, it should be replaced.

[@mecha207]

If I was in that situation. Better buy a second hand engine and tear that down and inspect it. Swap parts that are least worn to make one good engine with new nesscary fresh parts as well. The odds would be more favorable and cost less than going all new route or just use this project as a boat anchor and get a cheap mid mileage bike.

[@hujimix]

Remember when Bryan diagnosed that CBR as dead when you guys bought those other bikes for Wreck Bike Refresh months ago?

[@sgtace]

where is the clutch?

[@DennysPlantBasedJourney]

most mechanics want the paper copy... but man those paper copies are expensive... I have the e-version for all my bikes

[@RoadUser_Motovlog]

OC: if i am in a position to do that i'd buy all the things brand new, unless i know where the used engine comes from and i can pretty much guarantee that it's mostly fine. I also guessed 4200$ because blaze it Also #2 now i'm worried AF because my dad's motorcycle (1985 honda CBX 750 F) makes an high pitched knocking sound, and it's also high volume enough to feel like it's a distribution chain issue (air cooled bike, the sound seems to come out right behind the engine case external wall or whatever you call that)..i really hope it's not something serious, don't have a lot of money and riding that bike is (spiritually speaking) the only thing left that i can do with him

[@mickeymang6]

You need to get #12 the OIL COOLER. If you guys use the old oil cooler it will damage the rebuilt engine. Please please replace that!!!!!!

[@shimmyknees8789]

Partzilla has the same system also.

[@imautuber]

Thats £3,706.25 here in Britain. Sod that ! I'd change my bike instead. Brilliant video though and I watch with interest.

[@shanemartinson5006]

oc: i would just rebuild it, i have bought a used motor in the past, and still always take the thing a part and rebuild it...you never know what you have...at the very least you have to do a partial teardown to inspect....like my last one my ducati 1098 motor blow up, so bought a used motor from some one i trust and had it rebuilt

[@jongun78]

would it be cheaper to find a used engine on ebay or is this more about showing us what it takes to rebuild an engine?

[@captainamerica9353]

A used engine that's "good" from eBay or a local salvage would be much cheaper.

[@jasonwehrling738]

Ask for a banner from them to put up in the garage.

[@ParadiseBiker]

I'm not FIRST... But I'm here ☺ 👍🏿

[@uax1]

I think you forgot the clutch pack XD

[@taylorg2050]

OC I would for sure rebuild it myself. I wouldn't want to roll the dice on a used engine and get a lemon

[@92Cuky_]

at least you've got free shipping :D

[@VeeFour]

Wow, that's a big basket 😮

[@rankin1289]

Its 12 years old right??

[@cliff8675]

Outro: I was under by about a $1000. Not nearly as technical as I would need to be, but for that kinda money I'm not gambling. Anything I can't absolutely trust, I'm buying new. For the record, y'all just dropped almost as much on that engine as I dropped on my '06 bike that I bought in '18 ...

[@carlll6101]

Outro crew: Replacement, less hours I would salvage as much as possible from this engine and sell it or left

[@brianmeuse7595]

Four months..... It's been four months. 1...2...3...4 thirty day cycles and... and... nothing. RevZilla still can't you get those OEM parts shipped huh?

[@JDSPerformance25]

I would buy a used engine 💯....even with new engine builds things can still go wrong and fail no matter how good you are and do everything perfectly....$5k and tons of hours just isn’t worth it...

[@sgtace]

I feel like you guys still didn't figure out why oil wasn't going into filter. Is there clog or something?

[@sketch2002]

I think the conclusion was someone has rebuilt it once and didn't fill it right so it air-locked. Something along those lines. I don't quite remember exactly, but I think they were pretty convinced at the end of the last episode or the one before.

[@aashirwadtripathy1113]

I can still understand how this know it all grandpa knows it all!!....isnt this too much knowledge???
